Worth keeping in mind these only have a 10/100 Ethernet Port, so regardless of the 500mbit transmission capability, they are only a max of 100mbit end to end and in practice over an usable distance on most household wiring 60-80mbit is what you can expect.
So if you're on 50meg broadband or less these are fine for going from your modem to a router but if you're going to a pc in my own experience a well positioned n or ac wifi adapter can achieve faster transmission than a low end power line adapter like this.

Avoid these!
Random disconnections (check their forums).
Mine stopped working well one of them. Sent back to tp link for rma they sent me back battered one with soo many marks and scratches and it's an older model :disappointed:
Avoid tp link and go for netgear. No problems with netgear no disconnections.

Yep was explaining this to my mate the other day. My 500MB ones have 1GB port.

But surely if your broadband speed is no more than 50-60 MB then these will be fine?

Wifi may be better speeds if you have the right equipment, but ping times are going to go much higher and some slight packet loss. Not ideal if you play games.
In the real world with most people in a home enviroment, 60Mbps is more than enough speed. Although I don't know whats wrong with your house wiring, I tent to get around 95Mbps+. One of them I have in a shed down the other end of the garden 40+ meters away. No issues.

Well, they don't make the gas or leccy any cheaper so they must be there to do something. Sniff your packets, beware! :smile:

Make sure you get a good set. The model up also comes with this nano adaptor and mine will only work when connected at 10Mbps.

I paid £10 more for the 2 port version with power pass-thru which was worth the extra £10. I had a terrible wifi signal to the PS4/Xbox and chose these over a wifi repeater. I get around 35-50mb download through them which is about what I expected and enough for console use.

Are these wifi extenders

no. they extend the reach of your router using the electricity wiring of your house.
